So when Mr. Hanks announced on Wednesday night that he and his wife, the actress Rita Wilson, had tested positive for the coronavirus, the reaction was swift and emotional. The pandemic might mangle the stock markets, shut down colleges and bring worldwide travel to a halt. But infecting the beloved Tom Hanks? That was too far, especially for many people who have not been personally affected by the spread of the virus.

The vast majority of people will fully recover from it. No point spreading blatant lies like "you only have 15 days to live" that's just going to make people panic.

Ok I need updating since thats what my friend told me how many days or weeks is it entirely gone? or if it comes back I'm curious :(, he said its not completely cured until 1 year results ? hes like worried

It depends. Governments are recommending between 7 and 14 days of isolation to prevent the virus from spreading so that would be the timeframe you're looking at to get over it. Best to wait longer rather than shorter if you're not sure though. And as I said, the vast majority of people will fully recover from it, especially if you're young and healthy. If you're elderly or have any other medical conditions (particularly respiratory ones) then you should take extra precautions, but even then while it is dangerous it's not a guaranteed death sentence.
